Benefits of technology

The patent describes communication apparatuses and methods for coordinating transmissions between them. The invention involves generating a suggested sub-frame pattern for arranging almost blank sub-frames in frames, and scheduling control signal and data transmissions based on this pattern. The invention also involves obtaining information about the Hybrid Automatic Repeat Request (HARQ) round trip time (RTT) and arranging almost blank sub-frames accordingly. The technical effects of the invention include reducing interference and improving data transmission reliability in a wireless communication system.

Problems solved by technology

However, such HetNet deployment may cause undesired inter-cell interference.

Abstract

A communication apparatus is provided. A controller module generates a suggested sub-frame pattern describing suggested arrangement of one or more almost blank sub-frame(s) in one or more frame(s) and schedules control signal and / or data transmissions according to the suggested sub-frame pattern. A radio frequency module transmits at least a first signal carrying information regarding the suggested sub-frame pattern to a peer communications apparatus. The peer communications apparatus does not schedule data transmissions in the almost blank sub-frame(s).
